Retrieve Video Classification by content_id

3 More Information

Verity™ provides brand safety and contextual classification data for partner video platforms such as IRIS.TV and JW Player.

For the purposes of pre-bid targeting or creating video PMPs, DSPs/SSPs can get classification data for video assets directly from Verity™. DSPs/SSPs can use the unique identifier assigned by the publisher (content_id) to identify a video asset, without access to the video URL.

Verity™ refers to the unique content identifier for a video as the content_id.

The integration works as follows:

DSP/SSP partners:
- Initiates a classification request to Verity™, specifying a content_id (in this case the IRIS ID).
- Verity™ checks for the content_id.
- If data is available, Verity™ returns the correct video classification to the DSP/SSP.

Important: Contact verity-support@gumgum.com to find out more about enabling the usage of content_id for video classification.

Video Classification Endpoint for content_id

The Verity™ video analysis retrieval endpoint is:

GET /video/classification/{content_id}

Verity API processes HTTP GET requests for video classification data. The video is identified by a content_id, a unique persistent identifier assigned by a publisher.
